What does Obama mean by ‘held accountable’?(gunwalker)
Gun Rights Examiner ^ | 19 October, 2011 | David Codrea

Posted on 10/20/2011 4:05:39 AM PDT by marktwain

“President Obama today responded to a question about Fast and Furious, the controversial ATF program which allowed thousands of weapons into the hands of traffickers for Mexican drug cartels,” Devin Dwyer of ABC News reports.

"People who have screwed up will be held accountable."

“Screwed up”...?

Gee, that fits right in with “botched operation.”

It was all just a mistake, you see, “bad judgment”—committed by low-level bunglers in a “bottom-up” operation. And that fits right in with the Administration’s top-down talking points being propagated by their political and media apologists.

Which means no crimes were committed. And besides, they weren’t authorized. Hell, senior administration officials knew noth-ink…

Told ya so.

And while we’re all distracted with the sleight of mind shell game that funds should be withheld from gunwalking ops (good grief, you need to tell adults and/or law enforcement that?), the documented fact that PEOPLE WERE ALLOWED TO DIE in order to advance an agenda is lost in the bipartisan kumbaya/kabuki moment.

To paraphrase WarOnGuns correspondent “Steiger”:

We’re being conned. Bare-ass naked in the town square conned.

But hey, all the best “Authorized Journalists” are telling us this business of “padding statistics" with crime scene guns is just a right wing conspiracy theory. Funny thing is, none of them seem to acknowledge where such speculation originated…and that other insiders have weighed in with the same assessment.

The MSM is trying to rewrite history, again, just like the White House is trying to rewrite its press releases.

These people have no shame, no values, no ethics, nothing but a lust for power.

Just like Holder held those Black Panthers “accountable” for voter intimidation. In Left-speak, words don’t mean what they do to us ordinary folks.

Very simple. You know very well not a single word out of his mouth has been true.

By “accountable” he means “not accountable”. Capiche?

"People who have screwed up will be held accountable."

Translation: "Anyone who talks will be dealt with."

They'll be scolded and then given a cash bonus for their innovative approach.

Of course Obama is the ONLY ONE who could have ordered this idiotic operation.

Obama is the only one with the power to order it.

Obama is the only one STUPID enough to try this. He was a COMMUNITY ORGANIZER. He is used to race baiting and intimidation.

Watch Obama dance as the noose gets tighter around his neck.

“People who have screwed up will be held accountable.”

Well, we all know hussein is not responsible. Just like he’s not responsible for the record unemployment figures, horrible debt deficit, Solyndra, etc.

They will be “held accountable” for screwing this up.

By now, the Mexican gov’t should be demanding that we “do something” about all the American guns killing Mexicans,

and shouldn’t you 2nd amendment people just be ashamed of yourself for opposing “reasonable” gun control.

Obama means those responsible will be promoted, get a fat raise and a bigger office. And if they really screwed up, a HOT Secretary whose a nymphomaniac(1).

(1) And if they're Gay they get two weeks with Bwaney Fwank.

Holder and Obama both need to be arrested for their complicity in this; it’s naive to think that the WH was not involved.

The real question is what does he mean by “screwed up”?

He means they will be relieved of their post and transferred to another government job where their years of service will transfer and they will get an increase in pay and perks.

if he can find a scape goat he will hang them, if it goes all the way then it was just a mistake.
